In the agricultural courses, last

For the MacDonald institute, there
are always more applicants than
can be accomodated. tut during the
past summer some additional acc'om-

result that this year 214 students

Coombs, a master murkier, engaged
In preparing charts of the Inirlceto
channels oe the Yangtse river for the
Chinese Government,
1115 guest had just recounted how
a mutual friend, a ship's captain, had
"lost his ticket" for some mishap
quite beyond his power to prevent.
(When a master mariner has tin acct-
deut with his ship, he Is liable to lose
his certificate, or have it suspended
for six months or more, during-whieb
Period he Is powerless to obtain an-
other job.)
When his friend had gone, Captain
Coombe smoked pipe after pipe far
into tire night, and with the dawn his
mind was made up. Fie would devote
his whole energies to righting this
frequent grievance of merchant offi-
cers. He would found a company that
would Insure an officer against the
possible loss, or suspension, of his
certificate, for though for many years
this want had been expressed by all
members of the merchant service, no
company existed at that time to meet
the demand.
With his central Idea clearly form-
ed, Captain Coombs took a rickshaw
down to his office next day and re-
signed his well-paid appointment.
Then, without the slightest know]-,
edge of company promotion, or of
the intricacies of insurance, this in-
spired mariner caught the boat for
London.
Of course, he was laughed at. Doz-
ens of the big firms openly scoffed at
the idea of a sailorman bringing a
new insurance scheme to London. "If
you think you've a new idea—forget
iti" said one man. "There's no such
thing in modern insurance."
But Captain Coombs knew there
was, and hung on with grim tenacity.
At last he called on afamily friend,
a Lloyd's broker—a far-seeing, ex-
remely capable business man — who
onsented to come in as managing
irector. Then Captain Coombs per-
uaded Admiral Sir John Parry, un-
er whom he had served in the war,
o join, and with this nucleus the
avigators' and General Insurance
o., Ltd., was floated with a capital
f a few thousand pounds, mainly
ubseribed by sailor friends of the
romoters.
"My first 'office' was a desk," Cap-
in Coombs told a Tit -Bits reporter,
a small desk in a room I shared with
y colleague. Now we have grown to
his."

With modest pride he indicated the e
team of busy typists (every one a sail-

taking the character of the business.

the "watches" as on board ship: p
"I say'we began with a few thou-
sand pounds," continued the captain;
"to -day our mutual turnover is about A
240,000. We have nearly ten thou- p
sand merchant officers under our pro-
teotion—almost half the strength of
the service. At nearly every port in
the world where British ships call we g
have lawyers, who, on production of Ti

Iger is supplied, acts in the Inter-

£6,000 has been expended In this way

Although the company ryas formed
with the chief purpose of indemnify-
ing an officer against the Loss of his
certificate, it has widened its activi-
ties to embrace practically all the
problems that affect a sailor. There
is a Service Department which ad-
vises officers on such matters as Em-
ployment, House Purchase, Income
Tax, Life Insurance, Government Re-
gulations, Conditions Abroad, Royal

mits that he has yet much to learn.
He travelled 6,000 miles, saw from
the air much country that could be
settled with white population, and
learned about areas as large as
European principalities that are held
by individual cattle men.
In all the area he saw from the
plane after getting away from the
populous centres on the eastern sea-
board there are only about 1,500
white people, be said, yet a great
tract of country known as the
Barkly tableland Is equal to any
coma t17 of similar type in other parts
of Austraila, The plane stopped at a
cattle station, and conversation with
the manager there revealed to the
Minister that the area of the station
is 15,000 square miles. It is a Gov-
ernment lease held by one man, who
also holds other stations of great
magnitude. The cattle running on this
station were estimated at 133,000. "I
am convinced," said Mr. Abbott,
"that whatever development work is
done in the territory 1 saw, air trans-
port must play a large part."
FEEDING BOY SCOUTS.
Supplies Needed at the International
Jamboree.
Three-quarters of a million loaves
of bread, seventeen tons of kippers,
and 42,000 tins of sardines were re-
quired to feed the 50,000 13ny Scouts
at Arrowe Park, England, for the re-
cent international jamboree. Sau-
sages for breakfast at the rate of two
for each boy meant the provision of
six miles of sausages. The whole of
the vast catering arrangements were
carried through by the scouts them
o! selves. Six hundred troops of fifty
g• Scouts daily drew their rations from
I a central supply depot in Arrowe
, Park, taking them back to their var-
Mus camps to prepare and cool: over
their camp fires. The supplies for the
30,000 Scouts actually camping in
Arrowe'Park included:
80,000 eggs.
25,000 packets of breakfast cereals
Eight tons of rolled oats.
Four tons of potted meat.
10 tons of salt.
110 tons of potatoes.
